keep what you have - it looks better

The movie cell has a lot of shadows on Prime's face which is a turn off for me

Hey guys
I really appreciate the input. I should have been a little clearer in my thinking. I do realize that the episode cel is very clear and a nice image (he is looking right at you) but there are other things motivating me. I have been fortunate enough to aquire a nice shot of Megatron also from the battle sequence so I am looking to put the 2 movie cels together. As well I have another shot of Prime that is similar to the one I am giving up. Hope my thnking makes more sense.
To Wookie and Primal the guys who have these cels won't sell. They will only trade. As well they generally only trade Transfromer cels for Transformer cels. Most of my collection has been built on trade based on breaking in years ago when one of them was kind enough to sell a few pieces to me. The best place to find them is online auctions but they don't appear very often and get scoped up fast. If you are looking for pieces I can keep an eye out for you.

Doubtful..
The guy really wants this one.
I actually like the other one more but he prefer this one because of the episode it is from.

Go with the movie one as it's far, far, far more valuable if it's real. Almost all the Cels from the TF movie were washed for reuse shortly after the movies release.

movie cell, definitely, especially since you stated you already have another cell from season 1

Thanks for the advice.
I thought I would show you the other motivating factor for me in this trade. Of the background that still survive the film there are only 3 I am aware of that feature the battle ravaged Autobot city. I current own one of them that is with the Megatron cel. Doing this trade gives me 2 of the 3 background. Although it does not match the scene (most Transformer movie cels do not have matching background) it is still from the battle sequence. This background takes place as Prime is rolling in an smacking into the Decepticons who are in his way. The nice part is I can frame the background next to Prime since the cel takes up most of the field anyways.

Here is the background the comes with Prime:

Made the trade. Miss the episode shot but am really excited about the movie cel. as the owner of the movie cel said this was a good trade but a bitter sweet one. We also traded a couple of other pieces. He got a great shot from my collection of Starscream firing his weapon (an incredible money shot) and I got a shot of the Autobot Tracks talking to that kid from the episode Autobop. Although the Starscream was the better image there are only about 6 shots of Tracks that survive the series that I am aware of and this one ranks as the second best one. There are also way more images of Starscream but again even he can be tough to find. I also had another shot of Starscream so it added a character for me.
